Default Should I part out my EM1 before I go to U.K. for a year ?

I will be going to the Britain for a year this September
Do u guys think it can be a good idea if
I part out all the parts I don't want from my 99si
like my cd player,
Eclipse speakers,
Pioneer spare tire subwoofer,
Omni coilovers,
Konig Helium bronze rims
B16A2 long block
probably more...
then put the money in the bank (money market account might make me some interest)
leave the car on jack stands for a year
Buy wtever new parts when I come back
Good or not???

Definitely sell stuff that'll depreciate like the head unit and speakers, maybe even subwoofer.
But as far as motor and wheels, as well as suspension, I figure just leave as is so you'll still have a basic running EM1 to play with when you get back, instead of seeing it as a burden of a project.

Just garage it and maybe sell the stereo. I wouldn't want to part out my SI. It'll be nice knowing you have a nice car to come home to.

Why are you going to the UK? Are you in the military? They'll ship it over there if you are....

No they won't. The Army won't ship everybody's personal vehicles to an out of country base - or any base. If they did everybody in Iraq would have their own personal cars, the military has no funding for that sort of thing.

EDIT:
@ OP:
Why do you have the stock engine listed in a list of aftermarket parts? You do an OEM replacement swap or something?

As far as what you should do with it, depends what kind of area you live in.

If you live in an area where there's no lack of car theft, I'd sell it as a whole. Though if you really don't then just garage it.
